Feeling nostalgic on her return to her mother's home, Claire has decided to leave her job and to start her own business. She will be importing the artisanal wines and spirits she was unable to buy for her now former employer - that 'big box' corporation. She also shares some thoughts about what she calls 'memorable moments' - those places and times when you want to lock it into your memory bank - so you can return to it again. This visit with her mother is one of those ‘moments’ from the beginning and for more than one reason.

Join co-host Ethan for a conversation with Jose Alvarez, founder of treestar*. Jose is a native New Yorker and entrepreneur who has always been excited by social psychology and consumer behavior. Has worked in law, wine importing, and most recently started treestar*, a feel-good, experience driven soap and candle company with a mission to spread love, not germs.
